The writer of the communication Mow, sees danger in at tempting lo Hank nn Slate Slocks. He thinks "u cath copi- ial actually paid in," furnishes the only true fuumlution for a Hank. We agree that lho basis is good and satisfactory. Hut has Ihe writer determined what shall Ise done with the cash pilal 1 Shall il he kept in vault, nr ahull il lie invested in loan made only on commercial paper "1 If not made a xlure in the vault of lho Hank, of course il would take the latter direction. The question next lo be settled is How much safer would such an investment bo limn Stale Slocks T Real estate, lo which he also objects, enters into Ihe New ork plan but since the first cxerinieiils, ill use as a secu rity has been discontinued, principally Ivccnuscol the reduced credit of the issues upon it, and Ihc reduced value in market the Slock ot Hanks into which il enters. Slocks only of the Slate of New York are now used in Hanking, in that Slate. Our correspondent is in errnur when he says, "Hanking on Stale Slocks so fur as tried in New York, has proved be a failure." Wc llnuk the remark uan oversight, for he says in lho same parngrnph "Tho system is working well in !n'se easy times." J tits is muihin favor of a system that has "proved to lie a failure " If any system mny lie said lo have failed in New York, il is the "Safely Fund System" in approach lo the alhliatcd plan which meets ihc approba tion of our correspondent. The snliiy fund provided by the Hanks, under Ihal system, has proved iiisulhricnt lo redeem the notes of insolvent llaius, nnd great loss has been the consequence to the hill-holder. The Stock plan, on llie contra ry, never was in so good reputr, or in so nourishing a condition, as al lho present time. Il i true, as Haled, that there ere failures of Hanks Iwied on real estate ami on the Slocks if repudiating and non-paying Slates. Wheu Ohio shnll be come a repudiating Stale, the Hanks founded on her Slocks ill fail not before. And ihen would recur the question which is likely soonest lo fail, lho Humls of ihu Sl.ile, or commercial paHr"f 1 he objection based on the lesser oil' iculty to l encountered, and the lesser inconvenience lo lie occasioned to the commercial community, in colleciing half the loaut of a Hank, nr UHI.IXH) dollars, (lho whole amount louued lieing 'iUO OIXI dollars,) Ihnu in collecting the tame a- mount, io wit, 100,000 dollars, ( thut sum Iseing the tolnl of hinns,) strikes us as being a distinction without much differ ence. Without tracing farther (he arguments of our corrciond- cnl, we re inn i k in conclusion, th,ti his plan seems to look mainly to lho convenience and safely uf llie Hnnk-eroinf. The State Slock plan looks lo the security ol the bill-holder, or creditor. Which ought lo prevail f The debtor has value received, or hu would not owu Ihu Hiik. The bill-holder has given value, nnd he should receive it bnck ugain. Nothing hould tsc allowed lo come between Ihu bill-holder and pay- nt .if his demand. On (his principle must rest any new system, or it will fail of arcrplanro. We shnll advocate no liter. Under Ihu Stale Stock plan, the security is known mid more.il is placed beyond the control of the Hanker. The (sorrower must know his Imbtlity, and will understand his so- lion. I he consequence w ill Ise that w hat is termed "accom modation paper," will lioi be known in Hanking. Busineis paer only, based on actual transactions, will or can Ise dis counted The Ihree panics In each transaction, to wil, ihc Hanker, lite Discounter, nud lho Public for whom the issues if the llnuk are intended, will undcMnnd their relative posi tion. Rotluu corporations and kilc-llyiug will uis away consummation devoutly to 1st- wished." We are sure our cor- re.ipoiiilciit will join us in Ihu. Ne differ in lho mode of bringing it alsnul i bul as we go for free disc union, wo give his communication, bcsjsenkmg for it a candid cousidrralion. For the Ohio Stale Journal. Mlmhs.

Notes of hind sinned bv mcrrhants for roods purchased. payable al short periods ami endorsed by llie sellers ol thn gotsds, form lho Isest and most convertible kind of securities that a bnuk can ever sosncss. Nol a siuclc instance can Ise hovtnof a Imnk wuh a rash capital, whose loans were exclusively made on sex unties of this description, Ihal has ever IttlHMl. What proportion of these securities a bank should hold, in order that us issues may be sate lor the public, is a queiion only lo 1st settled by experience. A bank w uh a paper circu lation of jfl.sii inki, and having on liatnl $;m,tx.s.i ol specie, nod V JiXMNJO of rood mercantile securities, would he consid ered in a sale and prildcni condilion.

I ihm most realize their money or starve, and they are driven to the brokers and usurers to sell their broken bank paper. Thev sell it and lose tb, 50 or 7 per cent as the case may lie. Whrn the slocks tire sold the broker or usurer mny gel full payment and make a grand spcrulnliun, but this is MMir consolation lo ibe distressed laborer who nob! at a heavy discount. I he system of hanking on Mate slocks may ise an admirable one Inr wealthy men and money changers, but in my opinion it will form a ruinous one for Ihu great body of the common pnple. It may be an excellent fair weather plan, but very badly adapted to hear the brunt of a great commercial crisis. Almost uny kind ofbauks will get along iu pros perous limes, bul we need institution that can sustain themselves and be useful in the very worst of times. Hanking on tttnle storks so far as tried in New Nork, has proved to be a failure. Of the banks of this kind in operation during ihe commercial revulsion of l(J;il), more than half actually broke down, and ihcir hills depreciated from ib lo lb per cent. Il may ise said, however, that those banks were based on stocks of non-paying Suites, and that our banks will bo based on Ohin slocks, and Ihnl Ohio will always pay. Granted, that Ohin always will pay, still in very hard times her stock may sink lo even AO els. on Ihe dollar. The imuiedintn couvcrtiMu rash vnlue of public slocks, does iml always depend on tlteir ultimnln security, If there nre more selhrsthnii buyers, the price musl full, and the price will continue io tall in proportion as themaiki-i is overloaded. That the New York system is working well in these easy times, is no argument at nil, and any careful iiiun who has seen some ol lho recent statements, may well doubt their ability to stand a storm. The cxnmple of Ihe bank ofEnglnml mny be quoted as an instance ol ihc successful ostrntioiiof a bnnk, wuh its capital all invested iu publ.c sioeks. Hut the parnllel discs not hold good iu any point ot view. The bank ot Eiiirlond was originally created nnd has been sustained by ihe necessities of the government. Il was created in order that ilsrupital might be loaned lo Ihe government, and il has in fact always been a port of the financial machinery of tho government. Il did oure suspriio sc('ie payments, and remained in suspension for ninny years. Its public storks were not sold, however, to redeem Us issues, and il the nlh-inpt had been made, there is no Mouiii nut it woimi nave winmv tniieii, aim nave invoiveu iiself nud the government with it in irrririevnhhi bankruptcy, Tlie government saw Ihal llie bnnk could not continue to pay specie, And In save app'arnnces in some degree, ordered it to Miitpend, and then by an arbiirnry ami unjust law, maite llie bunk bills a legnl lender for debts, Such n course could uol 'se pursued in this country, even if it were desirable, as it wixild he unconstitutional. The bill introduced into the Ohio Lceidalure last winter ny Mr. Hawkins, is, in my opinion, a very excellent plan. It combines all the improvements anil safeguards, which the experience of the lnl twenty years has suggested, vUluntt ad ven'm ing into any new ana unit ted tspei xmente.

This great And rurduml improvement, which places the lime Pe pirtmrnt iu winch the public are mainly rnnrerued, under A loliilly different and ihiutereled management, from Ihe Mi-wanting Pfpartmmt, m wh ch the stockholder only are in terested is of vast iinporlnucu. Ti-e sower nfuvcri suing, the (rent bane of banks of issue, is taken oul of ihe bunds ol tiieni wki from sell-iuteresl are llie most likely lo amise il. I his improvement has a'ready tecu adopted ui the amended charter ol the bnuk of England, and is distmed ultimately to prevail everywhere.

This forms a sorl of imilual guaraulee, w Inch i worth more lo secure llie mililic, iban all the Niale storks in rna lion. Il may at first appear raihcr a hardship lo compel prudent banks io be rcspouMlile for imptinf ut ones, hit il the hanks- themselves have the (snwer ot choosing ihe Central Hoard, and thus ovirilookingand controlling each other, ihey will not complain. 4. The limitation whirh prevent i any one firm nr company, from borrowing more than the leinh pnrt of tlie capital ol any branch, wdl shut the door lo ihe moid proline source ol loss and nun, that h.is ever tern discovered in our old banking system. With this regulation, one or two eri-al speculators caiuioi engross nil the moii'-y ( a I auk. and thus effect its run. and some cerlnuilv will bu attained that tho loans of dsn benks still Iseeinially divided, as they ought lo Ise, among tlie mercantile comimmn v. b.

If a system la ili'Vist'il whii-h will enrrv us in sjtlrlv. lliroiurb h,nd Itnttt as well as easy ones, no fuiure Legihiiure will dare lo dis turb it. Hut it a stork banking scheme is ndoplifl, that the first commetctal tornado may explode, we may ihen bid adieu forever, in all the advanlaccs ol u bank me system, and a mix ed rurrenry.

The Deelgna mt lho Ksfmr-AlirmPi s skulk liespssuaibillir I But & few daya have elapsed ainco the New York Evening Poat, a paper high in the confidence of Mr. Van Buron, declared that the recent election left the Texas question open and undecided. The New York I lebetan, it ia true, took issue on the Point, and with tho Madisonian declared that the decision of ihe bal lot-box was emphatically in favor of Annexation. Hut, the position of the Post, approved bb it is by many who dread the consequences of Annexation, who yet voted fur a man pledged to aid in bringing it about immediately, "without reference to conseqtten-cca," allows clearly enough the settled design of a portion of tho opposition to skulk an issue forced upon the country with their sanction. Scarcely had we taken cognizance of this move of the "progressives," when we were called upon to announce a now discovery made by a portion of the faithful. Poor "swindled Pennsylvania" haa deprecated most pite- ouly, any attempt to alter those features of the Tariff adopted for her benefit, and in her tremulous anxiety to avert a punishment Iter own folly has brought upon her, artlessly asks Mr. Polk to make Mr. Buchnnan Secretary of State ; but wo gave little heed to her voice, believing that it afforded no cer tain indication of the policy to bo pursued by the incoming administration. Now, however, we have what scema to be an authoritative announcement on lho nll-itnporlant Tariff quettion. Simtillnneoua with the ipnearance of a labored article in Mr. Polk's organ, the JYnshviltc (Tcnn.) Union, taking ground against the Tariff, because (as is declared) it produces too much revenue, we have a specific, undisguised declaration in tho Jv York Morning Acir, (good authority,) that "this election has indeed distinct ly ttft the present Tariff" taw an own question." Now, to aome there would ecem to be an impassable gulf between the position of the hJVewr and that of the Union, but as the former copies and endorses the views of the latter, thus seeming to reconcile the two, wo are enabled to arrive, without difficulty, at tho designs of the next ad mini titration. While these prominent leaders among tho faithful would seem to say to South Carolina and her free-trade compeers, the peoplo have not endorsed your views in tho ro cent election, they virtually declare that tho Tariff mint ngain be unsettled, all the interests of the cuun-try made the sport of partizan legislation, and the foot-bull of sectional jealoumea. In other words, it is to bo attacked in detail, and frittered away by piece meal, while the eyes of the country are to bo drawn away from the work, by boitttcrous clamoringa about Dorr, Oregon. Mttivism, &C, &c. Under the pica of reducing the revenue within tho wants of the government, the principle of PnoTECTioi will bo sacrificed, and the labor of this country prostra ted. While a bone will, pruhablv. be thrown to Pennsylvania and Louisiana, to satisfy present cra vings and immediate wants, the manufacturers of the Kast and the wool-growers of the East and West, ill be visited with a full measure of wrath. Wo warn the country against this inaiduous war fare. We warn Uie friends of American labor, the advocates of 1 Protective Tariff, that they are to be sacrificed and ruined, by anenomy who dare not o- penly avow Ins real purposes and feelings. The pillars of national prosperity, nnd may we not suy, national independence, are to be sapped to their foundations, one by one, by men who dae not assume the responsibility of open hostility to a Protective Tariff. We lound aloud the warning note. Mark well the designs of the enemy. Meet him at the threshhold. Compel him to meet the issue openly, and crush his aims in the bud, or his cords will fetter your limbs and you will stmgglo in vain. Rend ihe following from thowV. Y.

Tho last AiisapWe t'nton contains an elaborate article which ia evidently designed bv Mr. Polk's friends in thai quarter to declare their view of the bearing of the reccnl election upon the nuestion of the Tariff. It perfectly concurs with our views on tnat point, and with the manner in which justice to tho truth, and to tho various opinions in regard to that question which were harmonized and compromised in the support of Mr. Polk requires it to be trented. Candor must constrain even the most decided ndroeate of Fin t Traden 111 fAe Democratic party to admit that Mil election has indeed dittindly teji the present tariff taw an open question,1 The only ex tent 10 wmcn ine genera) principles have been established by this election, on which it is to be regulated, is candidly and correctly stated in the article of the JVnshcille Union; and the course is very pro perly inmcaieu wnicn must next oe taKcn tip by tue partisans nf extreme opinions on either side of this question, if Ihey wish to pursue further the discussion and conflict upon it namely, that of carrying it into ine next itiiure elections tnat are to succeed. The NwthvUit Union already summons the Democracy of Tennessee to tho issue to bo joined upon it st the next election in August, which will be for the members of Congress whose particular duly it will be to set legislatively upon the subject Tho following is the article to which we refer: From ihe Nashville Union.

Under this impression we shall endeavor lo give to our friends some aid in discussing the practical bearing of the law now in exiatence upon the leading mtcrcats of our people. If wo could hope lo get the ear of tlie honest Whig farmers and mechanics of the Slato before they aro again embroiled in party strings, we should calculate confidently on convincing llicin that they havo boon greatly benefitted by tho result of lho Iste election. Mr. Clay s'ood doubly plodgcd lo maintain tho present tariff law with ils oiiating provisions unaltered and unmodified. Col. l'olk'a opimsition to certain features in that law were well known; and if any doubt over existed on thai subject, his late competitor, (J ov. Jones, mint hive removed it by his activo exertions in communicating the information lo the country. Col. I'olk is chosen President then with a distinct understanding that ho ia in favor of an economical expenditure of the public money of raising tho necessary amount for this purpose from tlie land rcvenuo and the imposition of tariff ilutioa on foreign goods f affording all thn protection to the wiso dclibcratinna of the people's representativra in Con gress. If it shall be made apparent that the existing law is defectivoin dislributinir ils burdens and ben efits unequally and unjustly, then all honest and pat riotic men, wnetner w tugs or iiemocraia, win rejoice that Col. Polk has been successful in the election. Upon this state of facta we ask the farmer and mech.nic to exercise his mind for a momonl in a fow common-aenso reflections. These facts impress upon us lho necessity of tho most rigid economy in the (iencral Government. If wo expend twenty millions instead of forty millions, tho Democratic doctrine is, thttt only (irvnfu niions thaultt be raittd by (As Tariff. Upon thai 'standard of Tariff dutirs the State of Tcnnessco would pay ono million of dollars less than she now pas! Now it will be in teresting to llie mooring men to inquire irotn wnence these two millions are derived, lljion examination it will be lound that these two millions ot dollars aro drawn from tho productive labor of the people their hard oarnings are reduced just two millions bclovr the amount actually produced by their lubor. Democracy contends that this ia ton burdensome, and demands thai the Government ought to be conte.it to draw bul 0110 million of dollars from tho earnings of labor.

The writer of the communication Mow, sees danger in at tempting lo Hank nn Slate Slocks. He thinks "u cath copi- ial actually paid in," furnishes the only true fuumlution for a Hank. We agree that lho basis is good and satisfactory. Hut has Ihe writer determined what shall Ise done with the cash pilal 1 Shall il he kept in vault, nr ahull il lie invested in loan made only on commercial paper "1 If not made a xlure in the vault of lho Hank, of course il would take the latter direction. The question next lo be settled is How much safer would such an investment bo limn Stale Slocks T Real estate, lo which he also objects, enters into Ihe New ork plan but since the first cxerinieiils, ill use as a secu rity has been discontinued, principally Ivccnuscol the reduced credit of the issues upon it, and Ihc reduced value in market the Slock ot Hanks into which il enters. Slocks only of the Slate of New York are now used in Hanking, in that Slate. Our correspondent is in errnur when he says, "Hanking on Stale Slocks so fur as tried in New York, has proved be a failure." Wc llnuk the remark uan oversight, for he says in lho same parngrnph "Tho system is working well in !n'se easy times." J tits is muihin favor of a system that has "proved to lie a failure " If any system mny lie said lo have failed in New York, il is the "Safely Fund System" in approach lo the alhliatcd plan which meets ihc approba tion of our correspondent. The snliiy fund provided by the Hanks, under Ihal system, has proved iiisulhricnt lo redeem the notes of insolvent llaius, nnd great loss has been the consequence to the hill-holder. The Stock plan, on llie contra ry, never was in so good reputr, or in so nourishing a condition, as al lho present time. Il i true, as Haled, that there ere failures of Hanks Iwied on real estate ami on the Slocks if repudiating and non-paying Slates. Wheu Ohio shnll be come a repudiating Stale, the Hanks founded on her Slocks ill fail not before. And ihen would recur the question which is likely soonest lo fail, lho Humls of ihu Sl.ile, or commercial paHr"f 1 he objection based on the lesser oil' iculty to l encountered, and the lesser inconvenience lo lie occasioned to the commercial community, in colleciing half the loaut of a Hank, nr UHI.IXH) dollars, (lho whole amount louued lieing 'iUO OIXI dollars,) Ihnu in collecting the tame a- mount, io wit, 100,000 dollars, ( thut sum Iseing the tolnl of hinns,) strikes us as being a distinction without much differ ence. Without tracing farther (he arguments of our corrciond- cnl, we re inn i k in conclusion, th,ti his plan seems to look mainly to lho convenience and safely uf llie Hnnk-eroinf. The State Slock plan looks lo the security ol the bill-holder, or creditor. Which ought lo prevail f The debtor has value received, or hu would not owu Ihu Hiik. The bill-holder has given value, nnd he should receive it bnck ugain. Nothing hould tsc allowed lo come between Ihu bill-holder and pay- nt .if his demand. On (his principle must rest any new system, or it will fail of arcrplanro. We shnll advocate no liter. Under Ihu Stale Stock plan, the security is known mid more.il is placed beyond the control of the Hanker. The (sorrower must know his Imbtlity, and will understand his so- lion. I he consequence w ill Ise that w hat is termed "accom modation paper," will lioi be known in Hanking. Busineis paer only, based on actual transactions, will or can Ise dis counted The Ihree panics In each transaction, to wil, ihc Hanker, lite Discounter, nud lho Public for whom the issues if the llnuk are intended, will undcMnnd their relative posi tion. Rotluu corporations and kilc-llyiug will uis away consummation devoutly to 1st- wished." We are sure our cor- re.ipoiiilciit will join us in Ihu.

Nol a siuclc instance can Ise hovtnof a Imnk wuh a rash capital, whose loans were exclusively made on sex unties of this description, Ihal has ever IttlHMl. What proportion of these securities a bank should hold, in order that us issues may be sate lor the public, is a queiion only lo 1st settled by experience.

Whrn the slocks tire sold the broker or usurer mny gel full payment and make a grand spcrulnliun, but this is MMir consolation lo ibe distressed laborer who nob! at a heavy discount. I he system of hanking on Mate slocks may ise an admirable one Inr wealthy men and money changers, but in my opinion it will form a ruinous one for Ihu great body of the common pnple. It may be an excellent fair weather plan, but very badly adapted to hear the brunt of a great commercial crisis. Almost uny kind ofbauks will get along iu pros perous limes, bul we need institution that can sustain themselves and be useful in the very worst of times. Hanking on tttnle storks so far as tried in New Nork, has proved to be a failure. Of the banks of this kind in operation during ihe commercial revulsion of l(J;il), more than half actually broke down, and ihcir hills depreciated from ib lo lb per cent. Il may ise said, however, that those banks were based on stocks of non-paying Suites, and that our banks will bo based on Ohin slocks, and Ihnl Ohio will always pay. Granted, that Ohin always will pay, still in very hard times her stock may sink lo even AO els. on Ihe dollar. The imuiedintn couvcrtiMu rash vnlue of public slocks, does iml always depend on tlteir ultimnln security, If there nre more selhrsthnii buyers, the price musl full, and the price will continue io tall in proportion as themaiki-i is overloaded. That the New York system is working well in these easy times, is no argument at nil, and any careful iiiun who has seen some ol lho recent statements, may well doubt their ability to stand a storm. The cxnmple of Ihe bank ofEnglnml mny be quoted as an instance ol ihc successful ostrntioiiof a bnnk, wuh its capital all invested iu publ.c sioeks. Hut the parnllel discs not hold good iu any point ot view. The bank ot Eiiirlond was originally created nnd has been sustained by ihe necessities of the government. Il was created in order that ilsrupital might be loaned lo Ihe government, and il has in fact always been a port of the financial machinery of tho government. Il did oure suspriio sc('ie payments, and remained in suspension for ninny years. Its public storks were not sold, however, to redeem Us issues, and il the nlh-inpt had been made, there is no Mouiii nut it woimi nave winmv tniieii, aim nave invoiveu iiself nud the government with it in irrririevnhhi bankruptcy, Tlie government saw Ihal llie bnnk could not continue to pay specie, And In save app'arnnces in some degree, ordered it to Miitpend, and then by an arbiirnry ami unjust law, maite llie bunk bills a legnl lender for debts, Such n course could uol 'se pursued in this country, even if it were desirable, as it wixild he unconstitutional. The bill introduced into the Ohio Lceidalure last winter ny Mr. Hawkins, is, in my opinion, a very excellent plan. It combines all the improvements anil safeguards, which the experience of the lnl twenty years has suggested, vUluntt ad ven'm ing into any new ana unit ted tspei xmente.

The resolutions onght lo bo unanimously sustained by Ihc Represent a li vps of ihe People of Ohio, and would be so suslaiiied,did nol lite blighting influence of party drill, smother tho honest voice of men loo weak to resist it.

Thev oushl lo bow the neck to Southern liclnlinn; they should kiss the rod that scourges; Ihey might be exacted lo bo willing ihal the green fluids of lho north hould Ifoumli only as llounshe slavery. Slavery has mea sured oul lo us our destiny in days pBilj and would seek still lo hold our progress in servile ahtyonce lo lis interests: Annex Texas, and the work is done. And ycl ihcro are men among us calling themselves " Democrats" others who slyle themselves "Liberty-men," who have been working together, and we still expect to sec them laboring in connexion io hring about this result, and io place in ascendancy forever in this country ftliould the Union Hand the thockj ihu rule of ihe Slave owner! Such men will oppose, as a mailer of course, ihe adoption of these resolutions. I lie docliiue of llie resolutions is the doctrine of the old Re publican parly, whose leaders loved the Union for the benefits l conferred on the wlwle Union, oul on a part. It is tho doc trine on which every free-man must lake his stand, if he would not hu a stavn lo an irresponsible majority. If the CoAsti- Ti'TioM will not hold men in chuck, if it is no bo lary lo legislation, I hen wc hnve no Union lho bond is broken, llie chum which (sound us is severed, and il remains fur Ohio, as an independent StAle, owing allegiance only to the Conslilu-lion, lo assert her rights under it.

The Deelgna mt lho Ksfmr-AlirmPi s skulk liespssuaibillir I But & few daya have elapsed ainco the New York Evening Poat, a paper high in the confidence of Mr. Van Buron, declared that the recent election left the Texas question open and undecided. The New York I lebetan, it ia true, took issue on the Point, and with tho Madisonian declared that the decision of ihe bal lot-box was emphatically in favor of Annexation. Hut, the position of the Post, approved bb it is by many who dread the consequences of Annexation, who yet voted fur a man pledged to aid in bringing it about immediately, "without reference to conseqtten-cca," allows clearly enough the settled design of a portion of tho opposition to skulk an issue forced upon the country with their sanction. Scarcely had we taken cognizance of this move of the "progressives," when we were called upon to announce a now discovery made by a portion of the faithful. Poor "swindled Pennsylvania" haa deprecated most pite- ouly, any attempt to alter those features of the Tariff adopted for her benefit, and in her tremulous anxiety to avert a punishment Iter own folly has brought upon her, artlessly asks Mr. Polk to make Mr. Buchnnan Secretary of State ; but wo gave little heed to her voice, believing that it afforded no cer tain indication of the policy to bo pursued by the incoming administration. Now, however, we have what scema to be an authoritative announcement on lho nll-itnporlant Tariff quettion. Simtillnneoua with the ipnearance of a labored article in Mr. Polk's organ, the JYnshviltc (Tcnn.) Union, taking ground against the Tariff, because (as is declared) it produces too much revenue, we have a specific, undisguised declaration in tho Jv York Morning Acir, (good authority,) that "this election has indeed distinct ly ttft the present Tariff" taw an own question." Now, to aome there would ecem to be an impassable gulf between the position of the hJVewr and that of the Union, but as the former copies and endorses the views of the latter, thus seeming to reconcile the two, wo are enabled to arrive, without difficulty, at tho designs of the next ad mini titration. While these prominent leaders among tho faithful would seem to say to South Carolina and her free-trade compeers, the peoplo have not endorsed your views in tho ro cent election, they virtually declare that tho Tariff mint ngain be unsettled, all the interests of the cuun-try made the sport of partizan legislation, and the foot-bull of sectional jealoumea. In other words, it is to bo attacked in detail, and frittered away by piece meal, while the eyes of the country are to bo drawn away from the work, by boitttcrous clamoringa about Dorr, Oregon. Mttivism, &C, &c. Under the pica of reducing the revenue within tho wants of the government, the principle of PnoTECTioi will bo sacrificed, and the labor of this country prostra ted. While a bone will, pruhablv. be thrown to Pennsylvania and Louisiana, to satisfy present cra vings and immediate wants, the manufacturers of the Kast and the wool-growers of the East and West, ill be visited with a full measure of wrath. Wo warn the country against this inaiduous war fare. We warn Uie friends of American labor, the advocates of 1 Protective Tariff, that they are to be sacrificed and ruined, by anenomy who dare not o- penly avow Ins real purposes and feelings. The pillars of national prosperity, nnd may we not suy, national independence, are to be sapped to their foundations, one by one, by men who dae not assume the responsibility of open hostility to a Protective Tariff. We lound aloud the warning note. Mark well the designs of the enemy. Meet him at the threshhold. Compel him to meet the issue openly, and crush his aims in the bud, or his cords will fetter your limbs and you will stmgglo in vain. Rend ihe following from thowV. Y.

Tho last AiisapWe t'nton contains an elaborate article which ia evidently designed bv Mr. Polk's friends in thai quarter to declare their view of the bearing of the reccnl election upon the nuestion of the Tariff. It perfectly concurs with our views on tnat point, and with the manner in which justice to tho truth, and to tho various opinions in regard to that question which were harmonized and compromised in the support of Mr. Polk requires it to be trented. Candor must constrain even the most decided ndroeate of Fin t Traden 111 fAe Democratic party to admit that Mil election has indeed dittindly teji the present tariff taw an open question,1 The only ex tent 10 wmcn ine genera) principles have been established by this election, on which it is to be regulated, is candidly and correctly stated in the article of the JVnshcille Union; and the course is very pro perly inmcaieu wnicn must next oe taKcn tip by tue partisans nf extreme opinions on either side of this question, if Ihey wish to pursue further the discussion and conflict upon it namely, that of carrying it into ine next itiiure elections tnat are to succeed. The NwthvUit Union already summons the Democracy of Tennessee to tho issue to bo joined upon it st the next election in August, which will be for the members of Congress whose particular duly it will be to set legislatively upon the subject Tho following is the article to which we refer: From ihe Nashville Union.

Under this impression we shall endeavor lo give to our friends some aid in discussing the practical bearing of the law now in exiatence upon the leading mtcrcats of our people. If wo could hope lo get the ear of tlie honest Whig farmers and mechanics of the Slato before they aro again embroiled in party strings, we should calculate confidently on convincing llicin that they havo boon greatly benefitted by tho result of lho Iste election. Mr. Clay s'ood doubly plodgcd lo maintain tho present tariff law with ils oiiating provisions unaltered and unmodified. Col. l'olk'a opimsition to certain features in that law were well known; and if any doubt over existed on thai subject, his late competitor, (J ov. Jones, mint hive removed it by his activo exertions in communicating the information lo the country. Col. I'olk is chosen President then with a distinct understanding that ho ia in favor of an economical expenditure of the public money of raising tho necessary amount for this purpose from tlie land rcvenuo and the imposition of tariff ilutioa on foreign goods f affording all thn protection to the wiso dclibcratinna of the people's representativra in Con gress. If it shall be made apparent that the existing law is defectivoin dislributinir ils burdens and ben efits unequally and unjustly, then all honest and pat riotic men, wnetner w tugs or iiemocraia, win rejoice that Col. Polk has been successful in the election. Upon this state of facta we ask the farmer and mech.nic to exercise his mind for a momonl in a fow common-aenso reflections. These facts impress upon us lho necessity of tho most rigid economy in the (iencral Government. If wo expend twenty millions instead of forty millions, tho Democratic doctrine is, thttt only (irvnfu niions thaultt be raittd by (As Tariff. Upon thai 'standard of Tariff dutirs the State of Tcnnessco would pay ono million of dollars less than she now pas! Now it will be in teresting to llie mooring men to inquire irotn wnence these two millions are derived, lljion examination it will be lound that these two millions ot dollars aro drawn from tho productive labor of the people their hard oarnings are reduced just two millions bclovr the amount actually produced by their lubor. Democracy contends that this ia ton burdensome, and demands thai the Government ought to be conte.it to draw bul 0110 million of dollars from tho earnings of labor.
